Chapter 732: Chapter 284: Dragon Knight (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

The sparks and shockwaves produced by the collision of the two warhammers created a fierce hammer-storm, which sent the six or seven nearby Black Flame Cultists and guards flying into the air.

The ground itself instantly caved in nearly ten centimeters due to the immense impact, and the soil scattered like a tornado.

In an instant, a concave crater formed within a several-meters radius around Rein and the ancient hero Mong!

The moment of collision.

The expression on the face of the ancient hero Mong changed drastically, turning to one of utter horror!

He had always thought that the special power that could harm the soul came from the opponent’s Skull Warhammer, which had just shattered into powder.

Because of Mong’s perception, he could tell that the other’s hammer was a tool associated with rituals.

Developing such a soul-harming ability accidentally during long-term rituals was a possibility.

But what Mong truly did not expect was that this young Imperial named Rein, without the Skull Warhammer in hand, still managed to deliver a soul-damaging blow this time.

In an instant, the tattered transparent shadow behind Mong’s tall figure was once again struck by Rein’s hammer, tearing it away from his body.

The same scene from before replayed!

The transparent shadow, nearly a meter away from Mong’s body, suddenly developed dozens of densely packed holes the size of fists all over.

Now, the transparent shadow became extraordinarily tattered, like a candle flickering in the wind.

If one didn’t look closely, it was almost hard to detect its human form….

When the shadow returned to the ancient hero Mong’s body, this time, Mong staggered back five or six steps.

At last, he ‘thumped’ to the ground, unable to remain standing!

Rein on the other hand, was also not faring well.

His Warhammer, even though made of Hardened Essence Gold, couldn’t withstand the severe impact of that collision.

At that moment, the hammer’s thinner handle simply broke off, its head had been completely blown away, leaving Rein only with a headless hammer in his hand.

At the same time, Mong’s strike was accompanied by a special dark red flame and some kind of transparent energy shock.

At this moment, Rein’s right hand was almost fractured, and his entire body was faintly burning with this dark red flame, causing extreme pain.

However, Rein still forcibly endured the pain, took a quick step forward, and the Hardened Essence Gold in his hand once again instantly reshaped into a Warhammer, hammering heavily towards Mong’s head.

It seemed as if he sensed the danger of death.

In an instant! The nearly dying Mong’s eyes suddenly bulged, staring at Rein!

The next second, he blocked Rein’s strike with his gray-white arm.

“Bang!”

The sensation of hitting a thick hide was transmitted to Rein’s hand through the handle. Despite the opponent’s wrinkled, mummy-like skin, the muscle fibers beneath were as strong as steel wires, very strong in defense.

Even compared to Rein, who possessed the Intermediate Steel Body Talent, it was not inferior.

After the hit, only Mong’s arm muscles were damaged, without breaking his bones.

Whether it was a final surge of strength or some other secret technique, the seemingly drained Mong suddenly let out a roar, charged into Rein’s embrace, and began to sprint with all his might!

“Boom! Boom!”

After rushing through several stone walls, the two crashed into an adjacent villa’s annex, engaging in close quarters combat!

But Mong’s condition at that time was too dire, and seconds later, Rein seized the opportunity.

“Splat!”

The ancient hero Mong’s eyes widened, his body shuddered!

A pointed Warhammer had entered his brain from the crown of his head.

The next moment, he seemed to still want to raise his arm for a counter-attack, but his body suddenly convulsed, and the arm he was lifting also fell back naturally, his lion-like head finally limply drooping down.

Rein pulled out the pointed Warhammer, looking at the large body that had collapsed with a moment of silence!

Following the death of the ancient hero Mong, a special aura began to emanate from around his grand corpse.

This aura was filled with magnificence and vast implications!

To Rein, it felt like… Mong’s death was akin to a ‘whale fall.’

After his death, it seemed as if some kind of foundational power within his body was also dissipating, which is why such a grand aura was spreading.

Suddenly, the system prompt followed:

[Ding! Unidentified high-quality energy detected for absorption, yes/no?]

(Note: This high-quality energy can be directly transformed into talent points upon absorption.)

Huh?

Facing the system prompt, Rein was slightly taken aback!

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

Ever since the last time when he killed a Black Flame Cult High Priest in the ascension phase, and happened across the opportunity to convert it into talent points, Rein had thought that only enemies that had some sort of connection with the gods could yield talent points.

He didn’t expect that by killing this ancient hero Mong, he would also get the chance to gain talent points.

Faced with this choice, Rein naturally didn’t hesitate, immediately choosing ‘Yes!’

In an instant, the gradually dissipating aura from Mong’s majestic corpse was absorbed completely into Rein’s body, like rivers flowing into the sea!

The system prompt came again:

[Ding! A total of two talent points converted.]
